Hey guys, I work in a sushi restaurant with high volume so I need a very sturdy knife that can cut all the shells, bones, and heads. BUT at the same time, the knife needs to cut sashimi and sushi ever so elegantly. I have two different knives, but since our work station is a bit small AND we have a lot of covers, I dont really have time to switch back and forth to a different knife.

A few of my co-workers have kikuichi knives. And that's the type of weight I am looking for. Light like a feather. But it doesn't seem like it could pull through when it comes to the boney work.

The gyuto I have right now is a Hiromoto 270mm. I love it to death. Although it is a great knife for me to de-head fishes and cut through live lobsters, it is a bit heavy at the end of the day and I can't really cut sashimi and sushi pieces nicely because of the thickness of the spine.

Others have recommended me to get a Sujihiki type knife. But I think the knife is too brittle? Any suggestions here?

Light like a kikuichi.Strong metal like Hiromoto.Can cut like a sujihiki.

Maybe I am asking a little too much but I would really appreciate it if I could hear your opinions!Thanks guys!!

kinda hard to get something like that. tough means something like a western deba, but you want something all purpose like a gyuto but can be a slcer as well. i'd buy all three and wear a butcher's belt and carry all three at all times.
